    Smells by Robert Muchembled, 2020

    A Cultural History of Odours in Early Modern Times

    Why is our sense of smell so under-appreciated? We tend to think of smell as a vestigial remnant of our pre-human past, doomed to gradual extinction, and we go to great lengths to eliminate smells from our environment, suppressing body odour, bad breath and other smells.

  7. A lot has changed since my #introduction:
    Now I'm a #postdoc in Liège (Belgium) trying to figure out how #neuroethology works.
    I will be working with two #Peromyscus species.
    My focus is the processing of #smell, especially #predator #odours, but most likely also #SocialOdors

    I'm still looking for more #AnimalBehaviour, #BehavioralEcology, and #ChemicalEcology folks to follow!
